Imaging Brazil 192: Excavator in Belo Horizonte, MG Lake Pampulha, one of the most visited tourist sites in Belo Horizonte, is an artificial lake. The lake is not only of architectural value (works by Oscar Niemeyer), but also has a valuable variety of natural beauty. Tourist can not only see the local environment by a visit of the ecological park, but also by walks or bike rides along the seventeen-kilometer margin. Unfortunately, the scenery is in almost constant danger. A number of streams and sewage pipes flow into the lake, which result in the progressive destruction of the local flora and fauna. Aquatic plants grow lush, and must be removed regularly. Contaminated sludge and sediment waste is regularly removed with large excavators. At the time of the photo the sun had almost disappeared on the horizon. There was almost no wind; therefore, the water surface shows an quite sharp mirror image of one of the excavators. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #belohorizonte #pampulha #natgeo #natgeotravel #lake #excavator #graafmachine #mirrorimage #reflection #spiegeling

Imaging Brazil 191: Oldtimer Wheels in Curitiba, PR Curitiba, capital of Paraná, hosts various interesting museums. Such as museums about local history, geography, art, literature, trains, cars. An automobile museum, founded in 1968, is located near Barigüi park. Over the years, the collection has grown steadily, and now the museum boasts to have more than 150 vintage models, of which eighty constantly rotate over the available parking spaces in the museum. One of the eye catchers in the museum is Emerson Fittipaldi`s racing car, with which he won the Formula 1 championship in 1974. For me, it was not only interesting pictures of the many old-timers, but also of details of these classic cars, of which this picture is an example. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #parana #curitiba #reisen #voyage #visitcuritiba #tingui #parquetingui #oldtimer #car #auto #wagen #carro #coche #voiture

Imaging Brazil 190: Starry Road in Canoa Quebrada, CE Once a calm fishing village, at present Canoa Quebrada has grown to a tourist attraction in the state of Ceará. The town was “discovered” by French filmmakers and hippies in the sixties and seventies of the last century. Not much later, the first tourists arrived, and the first accommodations appeared. Nowadays, many tourists pay a visit to Canoa Quebrada, not only for its natural beauty but also for its sparkling nightlife. The beaches of Canoa are bordered by high sand cliffs (falésias) with their bright orange, red and brown hues. Especially at sunrise and at sunset, these colorful cliffs offer spectacular contrasts with the bluish hues of the Atlantic Ocean. In the evening and at night, tourists enjoy a large number of restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. The principal street is named Broadway. At day, I noticed this starred street, apparently the local Walk of Fame. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #beach #praia #strand #ceara #ceará #canoaquebrada #beachparadise #shoreline #road #stars

Imaging Brazil 189: Hummingbird Hovering over a Flamevine in Belo Horizonte, MG During my stay in Belo Horizonte, I was a regular visitor to the zoo and botanical garden. At least twice a year. My camera was my faithful companion. Generally, I first made pictures of plants and flowers in the botanical garden, then I made a walk along several animal shelters. I walked along the monkeys, elephants, lions, tigers, and the lonely gorilla. The botanical garden also has some – obsolete – greenhouses with a variety of plants from arid regions of the state of Minas Gerais, and from the arid northeast of the country. One of the greenhouses was covered with lush growing and blooming orange trumpetvine. There was a colorful composition of a clear blue sky with the green and bright orange of the vine. At the time I took a picture of this composition, a hummingbird was hovering over the flowers, looking for nutritious nectar. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #belohorizonte #plant #bluesky #leaves #jardimbotanico #botanischetuin #botanischergarten #botanicalgarden #flamevine

Imaging Brazil 188: Walking Coconut in Maceió, AL In July, I stayed – together with a group of students – in Maceió, capital of the state of Alagoas, for ten days. We escaped the cold days and nights of Belo Horizonte, and enjoyed very much the warmer climate of Alagoas and warm seawater. We visited Ipioca Beach, near the capital. The beach was easy to be reached by bus. We took a long walk on the beach, had our warm meal at a barrack, and enjoyed a bath in the ocean water. I had already gained reputation with making pictures, and I was regularly called to take pictures of the group. Pictures of them on the beach, in the water, on a flat-bottomed boat, on a palm tree stump, with a dog, or even taking a nap on the sand. Nothing was too crazy for them. However … I had my own crazy moments. I tried to take pictures of a coconut in the air. I threw the nut in the air, while I aimed my camera with my other hand. It was pure coincidence that a man was walking along, when the nut fell, and now it appears that coconut had gained two legs. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #alagoas #maceio #horsemen #beach #strand #playa #plage #praia #ipioca #coconut

Imaging Brazil 187: Koi Carps in Rio de Janeiro, RJ It is hard to imagine that these colorful carp variant became known to the world only in 1914, when these fish were displayed at an exhibition in China. This nishikigoi, as they are also called, are the result of spontaneous mutations in the common carp. They are regarded as Japan’s national fish, and are now grown and maintained throughout the world. Also in Brazil, as I encountered these colorful carps in a pond – as part of an art piece – at the main entrance of the headquarters of BNDES (Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social), the Brazilian Development Bank in downtown Rio de Janeiro. The shadows on the water surface show a striking resemblance to the line pattern of the carps. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #photography #fotografia #fotografie #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #riodejaneiro #carp #koi #fish #vis #peixe #bndes

Imaging Brazil 186: Fishing in Shallow Waters in Belo Horizonte, MG For many years, attempts have been made to clean Pampulha Lake, and have it made suitable for water recreation activities. The popular artificial lake, created in the forties of the last century, is one of the principal tourist attractions in Belo Horizonte. The city dreams to introduce water recreation activities on Pampulha Lake as additional tourist attractions. Unfortunately, there still is sewage leaking into the lake, with disastrous effects on the aquatic environment. Aquatic plants thrive in polluted water and their excessive growth threatens to suffocate aquatic life underneath. It is forbidden to swim or fish because of the health risks. Not everyone respects the rules, like this fisherman standing in the lake. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #belohorizonte #pampulha #natgeo #natgeotravel #lake #visser #fisherman #pescador #pecheur
